Marx has long been one of the largest toy
manufacturers in the world. They have created all sorts of quality toys for
generations and the Cap Gun hobby is no exception.In addition to
their full-sized Cap Guns, they even created an entire line of miniature Cap
Gunsnot to be confused with the small Derringers and flintlocks like the
Nichols Buccaneer or the Dyna-Mite, but TINY GUNS! In this section we have Colt
Army 45's, Johnny Ringo stuff, rifles and miniatures.

This is so rare
it practically doesn't exist. This is a 23-inch long Hopalong Cassidy plastic
rifle. There is no maker's mark but it was made by Marx. A Very Rare
Find!Thanks to Dave Klahn of the Ten Gallon HatHere is the Marx Spinner
(in the Rifleman style), but with a round barrel. Its receiver area is also a
little different from the one below.Thanks to Tim TobinHere is the Marx Spinner
(in the Rifleman style), but with a hexagonal barrel.Thanks to Tim
TobinYou're not
likely to see this rifle that is MINT on the card!!! Even Backyard Buckaroos
doesn't have the card.Photos thanks to Scott McCollum, of Cap Gun
Treasures.

Marx Cowboy
Rifle in Box

This seems to be a pretty rare
rifle from Marx. At least it is the last one (at this time) that I have put on
the site after 10 years!!!Photos from our Canadian buddy Jim

This is a nice Davy Crockett
pistol set that was distributed by Disney, but it was made by Louis Marx and
Company.Many thanks to Brian Walker for this photo.Okay, they're not Cap Guns,
but they are still part of the Marx collection and very interesting. I guess
the moment the bad guys heard this siren, they would fall down "dead."Photo thanks to
Andrew Teleki.More "non-CapGuns." But
still...they were made by Marx. This space gun rifle is 26 inches long and was
made back in the 1950's. Richard said that it didn't work and I guess he means
that it didn't dissolve Klingons.Photo thanks to Richard Thomas.

Marx Sharps
Rifle

This was one of the famous rifles that the
cavalry used in the Old West.Thanks to Steve
Arlin

Marx Maverick
Rifle

This one must really be rare! I'm beginning
to find out that Marx made a lot of Cap Gun toys that we don't see very often,
because they ARE rare.Thanks to Steve Arlin

Marx Davy
Crockett

I doubt if Davy Crockett ever had a rifle
this good. I mean, give me a break! In 1836 they didn't have lever action guns,
centerfire bullets nor fancy sights. But that's showbiz!Thanks to Steve Arlin

Marx Rin Tin Tin
Rifle

My guess is that Rusty did most of the
shooting. But I used to watch that TV show when I was a kid. I didn't know
there was a RTT rifle or I might have pestered my parents for one.Thanks to Steve Arlin

The Marx Lone
Ranger Click Rifle

This rifle was Marx's smaller,
23-inch rifle carbine with Winchester-lever action. This was a clicker-style
rifle with die-cast metal hammer. Its most prominent feature was the
walnut-type plastic stock with a deeply molded, finely sculptured Indian
chief's head and "The Lone Ranger" in gold lettering on the left side of the
stock. The right side of the stock has a grizzly bear, also finely molded into
the stock. It came with regular rifle barrels and checkering and engraving on
the lock and forestock. This came in two patterns: Metallic silver barrels and
factory black barrelswith and without a scope.Photos by Dwain

Here's an even closer
view of this Marx rifle and this one is DEAD MINT. Is that what Tonto would
have looked like if he were chief?CLICK ON PHOTO

we think is a Springfield. It is a clicker rifle by Marx.You don't see these
very often.Photo by Gary Nielsen

The Marx Lone
Ranger Repeating Cap Rifle

Here is the Lone Ranger
repeating rifle in its original cardboard scabbard that has been shrink wrapped
to protect it. The original graphics are outstanding and a real joy to see. The
toy companies back in the day really knew how to attract the children and today
it surely attracts us adults. You would be hard pressed to top this in any Lone
Ranger collection.Photos by Jim Mair of Jim's Vintage Toys

Walt Disney presented a
TV series with Zorro, which we all loved. Everybody wanted to be Zorro. On the
TV show, he was portrayed by Guy Williams, who was also the captain in Lost in
Space by the way. Here is a nice Zorro set that looks to be in 99% perfect
shape. The photo below shows that the idea for this set came from that Walt
Disney TV show.Photos (above and below) thanks to Chuck Quinn.Click on the
thumbnail for a larger photo!In my
opinion, not enough Lone Ranger (and CERTAINLY Tonto!!!) guns were made.
Although this one is not a Cap Gun, it still qualifies for this website. This
is incredibly rare and having the box just makes it that much more
valuable.Photos thanks to Chuck Quinn.Click on the thumbnail for a larger

The Marx Big
Horn Rifle

I will admit that I found this
particular rifle on an auction site and requested permission to use it, but
never got a reply. Well, that's been at least six months, so hopefully it
doesn't hurt anything to have it here. And the larger photo at the bottom is
from Dave Klahn of The Ten Gallon Hat. I suspect that his photography colors
are more accurate.

Marx Roy Rogers
Big Game Rifle

This rifle's photos were also
requested, but I never got a reply. It is really a beautiful rifle
though.
